Everyone keeps saying "the Nuremberg Trials show you can hold them accountable" but keep forgetting that the Nuremberg Trials were held by an international court after it took a World Fucking War to get the Nazis to stop their shit. Not that I'm saying that's an excuse to give up and let the Republicans run rampant but the Democrats aren't doing shit and the rest of the world isn't holding Trump accountable either.

    Yes, I hate when people talk as though nuremberg 2.0 is an inevitability. Is Santa Claus going to bring the international court down to prosecute MAGA? it's only going to happen if somebody makes it happen! It's not a sure thing!

    Yes I'm sure many of us, myself included, understand this. Countries can and have held themselves accountable too albeit with less success. South Africa and then Canada have each done their own TRC. It's possible. You just can't let perfect be the enemy of good.
